Weekly Post =)

I think to keep myself on track I'm going to try to make sure I at least do a weekly post ;)

oh.. and ok, sorry for the grammer errors, but layla decided to pop the shift key off of the keyboard today and i cannot fix it! gonna have to wait until ryan gets home to have the shift key back, lol ;)

I haven't uploaded the pictures yet, but this weekend I took l took layla to see princesses on ice! it was really nice and i know she had a great time. she loved all of the princesses, but was looking forward to cinderella the most. i was surprised, i didn't think that would be her favorite princess, but just like me, cinderella is her favorite.

Lexi was great on the car ride down, she is such a happy little baby. Almost 5 months old and i really can't believe it. It's hard to think that 5 months ago I was still largely pregnant, lol, ok maybe not that large ;) Sometimes I miss being pregnant, but then I remember how hard it is at the end and how anxious you are to meet your little bundle.

I'll have to do my 'retro post' on her birth story soon! It isn't as wild as some, but definitely not the way I thought it would be either.

This weekend we're heading out of town and while I'm looking forward to it, I'm also wondering how it's going to go. Last time we were out of town, Lexi wasn't feeling well and I was worried she had rsv, but it turned out she was ok. Sick kids are terrifying to me. You don't always know what to do to help them and that makes moms (and dads!) feel awful.

The 8 hour trip... takes us around 9 hours.. or at least it did last time. So I'm not sure I'm looking forward to that either. Last time it took so long because the girls were on different schedules. Lexi was eating every 2-3 hours.. and Layla was peeing every 3ish hours.. or getting hungry. but it was NEVER at the same time! We were pretty much stopping every hour and a half!

Hopefully this time will be better! Maybe I can get them on the same schedule or at least a closer one =)

Monday Monday!

This weekend was once again a BUSY one! It feels like the past week flew by and then the weekend flew even faster. Friday night we had to go to dinner for Ryan's grandfather's birthday and that was fun. I tried a new dish at the restaurant we went to, which is not at all normal for me.. but with it being Lent and this restaurant included meat in just about every dish except for the soup that I got, kind of forced me to venture out, lol! But it was good. Layla had a great time around all of the family.. she is a superstar. She loves to be in front of a lot of people and she acts like a ham. :) Lexi enjoyed it, I think.. she was passed around a little, but when the meals came, I got her back and she went right to sleep.

Saturday was a lot of fun. Lexi got to have a 'daddy day,' she spent the entire day with Ryan while my sister-in-law and I took Layla to the zoo. There was supposed to be a few fun things going on, but we missed the first thing thanks to swim class (that was actually cancelled by the time we got there.. nice) and then the zoo closed a little early that day, so we didn't get to see the screening of the new Barbie movie, but it comes out on Tuesday so I know Layla will see it and get it then... or whenever we make it to WalMart.
She still had a great time at the zoo though.. there is an almost-one-year-old baby elephant that was super cute..and definitely made me miss my little baby at home. But she did great at home with Ryan.

Yesterday was so beautiful outside.. while Lexi napped inside Layla and I played outside. I almost forgot about all the fun outside toys we bought Layla last year. I guess you can say she's a little spoiled, but oh well :) I don't care. I want her to have fun while she's little and be able to experience a lot of things.. and I want the same thing for Lexi.

Who knows what today will bring?! ;)
